my left outer thigh is numb
-
I had surgery to remove my gallbladder 10 days back. I've noticed that my left outer thigh has gone numb. I haven't seen any discoloration or swelling or redness. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Im worried it was a blood clot I called my doctor and he didn't seem very worried about it. My friend's dad, a physical therapist, thinks it has something to my lower spine. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

@avish so if you have and back or buttock pain , any history of back strain or injury recently or if you carried any heavy load or repetitive bending work can affect on disc and spinal nerves which gives numbness in your lower limbs/thigh! Ask your doctor to give you certain exercises which will eventually show if the problem is from back or not!
GP can do further investigation such as MRI to confirm the problem's origin. hope this is little help !
